Have you set the timer interval. If yes to what value

 

[arian29]

interval is set to 1000. changed the code to:

'**********************************
'form3

Private Sub Form_Load()

Counter = 5

End Sub


Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Counter = Counter - 1

Text3.Text = Counter

End Sub

'*************************************

now what happens is the the value of "counter" is always 0 in Timer1_Timer() even though it has been initialized to 5 in Form_Load(). so i am getting -1 as the value in counter when i run the code.

 

[silent008]

No doubt the counter has been initialized to 5 in form load, but I think that every second the timer event occurs and counter is decremented so it will have a value of -1 at som point of time.

I am jst trying to help, even i might be wrong
